Independent Writing Project #2

  I remember the day I met the guy of my dreams he was perfect. Except that he was poor, and my parents wouldn’t except. They’re always telling me to marry someone my class. It was love at first sight. We were both going to get the same drink and suddenly he touched my hand and blushed. I can’t erase that memory. I hear the phone ringing it’s him Jack. He called to ask me to get to the movies with him. We’re at the movies and he gets ready to kiss me. I get all nervous and drop the soda on him. It’s all over his jeans and I am really embarrassed. He tells me it’s okay and takes me home. I don’t know how my parents found out about our relationship but they tell me he’s my brother. I get all discussed and start to cry. I can’t believe I fell in love with my brother. “Ew!” Jack calls me but I don’t answer him. He tries to talk to me and I ignore him and try to avoid him. One day I am going to take a walk at the park when I overhear my mom saying that she adopted me. But she didn’t want me to know so that I didn’t go out with him. I was really happy because this meant we could be together.  I go inside the room and ask my mom about this she tells me the story. “When I was young I fell in love with Harry the father of Jack. But he was poor and my parents wouldn’t let me be with him so I would see him in secret. Then one day I got pregnant and my parents found out. When I gave birth to Jack my father took him to an orphanage. Since that day I haven’t seen him”. I asked her why she adopted me. She said “ I couldn’t have kids after Jack so we adopted you”. Months later Jack asks me to marry him I say “yes”. We got married and went to London where our honeymoon was. Was finally together after all that trouble.
